Latin America

Increase project value at reduced risk

We’re addressing the challenges of deep foothill plays, emerging ultra-deepwater subsalt prospects, complex heavy-oil drainage patterns, and HP/HT environments to enhance hydrocarbon recovery. You can rely on our support for better performance, regardless of the challenge.

Achieve fewer drilling days and improve production profiles from intelligent completion and well-monitoring systems. Our artificial lift systems enhanced with automated monitoring and chemical-treatment arrays are optimizing flow assurance and point-of-sale compliant hydrocarbons.

Enhance recovery at lower cost 

We’ll collaborate with you to reach ultradeep subsalt targets efficiently and effectively. We’re achieving difficult reentry geometries in deep foothills wells with slimhole rotary drilling assemblies.

Our oilfield professionals are completing challenging HP/HT offshore prospects with substantial time reductions. Completion and fracturing systems are enhancing production. Additional reserves are characterized and proven with advanced logging and imaging technologies while drilling or with wireline. We’ll plan the best way with you.

Improve project efficiency 

Our significant infrastructure investments are enabling us to work smarter. Project work and integrated operations are supported with local expertise and experience; responsive maintenance facilities to optimize operations; efficient manufacturing centers; and ongoing professional development at regional universities. Our BEACON™ 24/7 collaboration centers offer global connectivity to the office and the wellsite.  

R&D projects are developing the right technology to solve Latin America’s regional challenges so you can work with reduced risk at less cost. For example, we’re collaborating with local universities and operators on many deepwater challenges.
